Krawczynski about one of the reasons the Timberwolves picked Edwards over LaMelo:
One of the Wolves’ 2020 pre draft interview questions to LaMelo Ball was”What do you see yourself doing after your playing career? What do you aspire to?” LaMelo’s answer: “I want to be president of the United States”

Damn that is very funny
Looking back, they made the right choice
Ant is a much better prospect than LaMelo. Ant also contributes to winning
If that’s true Lamelo needs to set his expectations higher.
I wonder what ant answered
Pretty on-brand for Lamelo
Edwards has played 44 more games than Lamelo and Wiseman combined. Even if you ignore his 42 playoff games he’s still played more
Can’t be worse than the current guy
Low key kinda historic hit for the wolves in that draft, ant is all ready their best player in history besides KG
Brainrot magic johnson we love you buddy, if you could stay on the court for an extended period of time that’d be fantastic
Crazy that someone can sound more dumb that Ant
I remember them asking melo if he could meet anyone in the world who would it be an he said GOD
Pretty stupid IMO for team executives to recount job interview questions in public to puff up their own reputations at the expense of others. I’m not sure why this type of behavior is not prohibited by an NDA.
I mean, let’s not let Krawczynski slide that easily. This was 5 years ago. Not 1995. Saying it didn’t seem plausible “at the time” when you know who had won an election, seems dishonest at best.
Tbf I could see Ant saying that as well
Sadly I don’t think lamelo could have had the impact on winning the way Ant has on the Timberwolves
I’m surprised he didn’t say he wanted to be WWE heavyweight champ instead.
Lmao everyone catching strays in this interview
The kid is kind of a dumbass
You guys laugh now…
That’s actually hilarious 😂
With the amount of games the Balls have played over their careers these conmen will be announcing their candidacy any day now
This is less funny when you remember who the actual president is. Trump being president has made Americans the laughingstock of the world.
for the cross over nba/wrestling fans, it was apparent he was a moron the second he was handed a microphone lol
i followed him through high school and he genuinely has 0 education and has never taken any high school course past grade 9
Lamelo’s answer saved the wolves franchise
Didn’t he almost drown in 3 inches of water?
LaMelo will remember this when he becomes president
